Paddleboard Operations Manager
Wai Mauna SUP Tours
Ever wanted to run your own paddleboard business?
That’s essentially the role of the Operations Manager, who will handle all aspects of daily operations. (Wai Mauna holds all necessary permits from Idaho Fish and Game and Teton County).
This is a full time, seasonal position that runs from May 20 through Labor Day weekend.
If you’ve ever guided in Grand Teton or Yellowstone—but don’t want to commute/drive each day, and live in Teton County—this is the perfect opportunity to work in summer tourism while still being close to home.
The Operations Manager can expect to work 5-6 days per week and be comfortable working in a flexible, fast-paced environment. Some days might start at 7-8am and not finish until 7pm. Others might finish around 2pm, depending on reservations, and while the days can sometime be pretty long, the commission structure ensures there’s no upper limit on how much money you can earn.
The Operations Manager will work in tandem with the owner (who manages multiple locations across the country), and for the bulk of the season will be the sole person managing the company’s operation in Driggs.
The job entails a diverse range of tasks, from knowledge of paddleboarding gear and technique, to knowing how to back a trailer and work with scheduling software.
Strong communication skills and proficiency with project management are essential.
The ideal candidate should be a self-starter with an entrepreneurial spirit, and have a deep background in outdoor recreation and hospitality management.
